Those of Saturday, which were due, have not arrived. A considerable, portion of them is occupied with the proceedings at on the trial of the persons charged with being concerned in the assassination of M. FUALDES. On the termination of the third day fifteen witnesses had been examined out of upwards of 300. Some judgment may be formed front this circumstance of the length to which the trial is likely to be spun out. To attempt to give any abstract of the evidence (ern if we had room) , vould be vain and useless, as it consists of R number of circumstances the character and bearing of which vary every day according to the diErent.explanations afforded by the witnesses.— We insert the introductory part of the Trial in our First Page; we shall give further , particulars when they are of any interest, and we have space for their i►rsertion. 111 the Chamber of Deputies on Thursday, the Prujet rebpecting the St. Domingo Colonists was &greed to-138 to 29. The discussion on the Budget was then resumed. M. CAum . oNT proposed to strike out the allowances to the favourites of BUONAPARTE. CASINIR PERRIFR, 41 a speech of some length, complained of the introduction into the Budget of the produce of the licencing of Gaining-houses, and dwelt upon the enormous expellee arising from the presence of the Army of Occupation.. M. LASTOURS conaph.ined of the duty on oils. M. DELESSPNT advocated a strict adherence to the pecuniary engagements - entered into by the Government, and called upon the Deputies to sacrifice all party differences upon the altar of their country. This phrase is stated to have excited great enthusiasm. The further discussion was then adjourned till Friday. The following are Extracts " PA r RIS, APRIL 2.—The Princes hunted yes terday in the neighbourhood of St. Germain, ac companied by the Duke of Wellington. " The Projet respecting arrest for debt was yesterday presented to the King. by the Minister of the Interior, and the BureLti of the Chamber of Deputies. ' " The Englishman condemned the l6th ult. by the Court of Assizes at Paris, is not named John Oliverson, but John Halket Oliverson, born at Btrmingharn, aged 30. He has appealed in Cas- action. " Some Frenchmen, domiciliated in Belgium, have been ordered away from thence, on the ground of their not being naturalized in the Ne therlands. The French Authorities have assisted them according to their wants. " FIVE PER CENTS. " Thursday. " DEFERRED STOCK " CONSTANTINOPLE, MARCH I.—An English Courier has arrived here from Bombay, through Asia, on his way to England, with dispatches from the Marquis of Hastings to Lord Bathurst. It is said that the dispatches relate to a new war which has broken out be tween the East India Company and the principal Mahratta Chiefs. The Coiuipany is .stated to have formally declared trier against the Mahrattas, and hostilities are reported to have commenced in dif- lerent quarters." If it he true, as stated in an article from Stock holm of the 1 3 t h ult. that BERNADOTTE has com• nienced his reign of 04trusion (we know not whe ther any arrangements on the part of the British Government forbid our saying of Usurpation), in proposing a Law by which that -peaceable And 1 truly respectable community of RELIGtous FRIENDS, usually' stiled QUAKERS, Are required to reside in particullr places, „except by express authotitY from the ic:ng, it may fairly be zre stoned, that hi,, has laid lite foundation of his own deposal. A more inoffensive class of people than' the QUAKERS, as they are called, cannot be found in any Conntry. They do not interfere with politics, and they do not even seek for Proselytes to their own doctrines, but satisfy themselves in doing what they con ceive will . tend to their own happiness here and hereafter, without annoying others who may pursue the same end by different means. For what pur pose then, , except to shew the wantonness of power, or, indeed, to hold out a warning to other classes of the people, can this monarchical Tyro have prOposed such a harsh and despotic Law ? We did not find that even his former Master, whom he deset ted, the atrocious Usurper of France, descended to such needless tyranny. He attended particularly to THE JEWS, and, with out attempting to allure them to Christianity or Mahothetanism, both of which he affected to be lieve when either served his turn, he endeavoured to elevate them in Society, and to render their situation more comfortable. The proposed Law, therefore, against the QUAKERS, in. Sweden, is an outrage upon humanity, as well as a proof of a total incapacity for the exercise of Supreme Authority in a State. Feeling therefote, abhor rence at the idea of raising a man like BERNA.- DOTTE to the Throne, as a fatal stab toMonarchy, we rejoice at this inauspicious commencement of hiS reign, as it cannot but excite the indignation and contempt of all classes of his Silbjects, if we are obliged to designate the people of Sweden by so degrading and so opprobrious an appellation. THE FUNDS.-The fluctuations in the price of the. Funds this morning have been very great ; Consols have fallen full one Per Cent. since yes terday. This morning they opened at Sq. but some of the most respectable Brokers sold to a large amount ; one Gentleman sold near a million. The Commissioners were served generally by the Jobbers at 79i. RUSSIA.—As it has been found that the mu nicipal regulations of this country have not been attended to in several instances, in the course of last season, double duties and other difficulties occurred to the importers of goods, to avoid which, it is necessary that bills of lad ing should contain the names of the consignees, and he unhorsed, whit an accurate specification of the mark, number, weight, and description of the package, signed by the shippers. The arrival of Bombay Couriers, to the 15th of last November, in town yesterday, has put an end to the vague rumours and confident asser tions of several of the London Journals . on the subject of the late hostilities in India. We have not room for the extract from the last Bombay Courier this day, but shall insert it to-morrow at length. The following is the substance of its contents :-- " The first engagement, it appears, tools place towards the beginning of November, between the British troops and those of the Peishwa ; the former under the coin:nand of Colonel Burr. It seems, the - Peishwa chose his Opportunity when the greater part of the British force near Poqnrth had• been detached for the useful purpose of co-operating in the general suppression of the Pindarree power. Symptoms of Mahratta hostility becoming pretty manifest to our 011icer commanding, and the Peishwa, amongst other circum stances, having declared Isis resolution of retiring from his capital to the camp, where he had assembled his troops, Colonel Bnrr tools a position in advance of Keeskee, and, on the sth of November, prepared to receive the enemy, who appeared in Isis front with ass army which was estimated at 20,000 cavalry, and about 10,000 foist. Mr. Elphinstone, the British Resident, repaired to our bead-quarters, taking with him his personal guard. The force under the orders of Col. Burr was composed of one (the Bombay) regiment of Eu ropean Infantry, and four.battalions of Seapoys, besides 64 men of the 65th regiment of the line, with a small detach ment of artillery and pioneers. The British advanced, but, at the same moment, the enemy's artillery opened upon their centre, while the Mahratta cavalry charged their left wing, and • forced two regiments which bad expend ed their ammunition to retire. A demonstration by the British right very probably saved the retiring body from a repetition of this attach, which, as the enemy had al most surrounded our left wing, might have proved in no small degree destructive. The Malnattas likewise got into the rear of the British right, so that the whole corps was en veloped by the enemy; when, adopting the last expedient of brave and disciplined troops, our men faced about, and gave them souse 'collies, which threw them into confusion, and put an end to the engagement. Thin contest seas, at one period of it, severe and critical.; but superior training, and the ascendancy of European courage, triumphed over disparity of numbers; and the result, though not a total overthrow of the enemy, was honousable to the Company's arms. On the morning of the 6th of vember, a light hattalMil, with 1000 auxiliary horse, effec'ed their junction with Colonel Burr's little army. General Smith came up with Isis division on the lath, and appears to have engaged almost immediately in a series of active opera tions. The battle which h. fought with the Peishwa, ern the 16th, is said to have terminal ed in the defeat and dispersion of the Mabratta force. Litt it ought to he recollected that, with ass army so constituted, a flight is nut always decisive of its overthrow, and dispersion is very different from ruin.-- Pounah, however, has been abandoned by the P6shwa, who is reported to have fallen back on the hill fort of Sattarals, a place of : great strength, about 47 miles from the capital. It has been stated that General Smith Was following up his ad rantagss ; though no details of the battle of the 16th, nor of any latt•movernents, are to bound in tl* intelligence from Bombay." THE PRINCE REGENT'S COURT.—The PRINCE REGENT held a Court yesterday, and previously a Privy Council, at which the marriage of the Prin cess. ELIZABETH with the Hereditary Prince of Hassa-HomaattG was proposed and sanctioned. Mr. Rosa was sworn in and took his seat as a Member. The Baron de GERNING, Envoy from Land rave of Hesse-Homberg, and Baron KHAN a, Marshal of the Court of that Principality, were afterwards introduced with the usual Corms, and were most graciously received by the PRINCE REGENT. The Swedish Minister, Baron STIERN HOLD, was also introduced with doe ceremony, delivered his et edentials, and was most graciously received. Lord SIONIOUTH, Lord CASTLEREAGH, will! the Lord CHANCELLOR, had audiences. The QUEEN'S COURT.-The QUEEN afterwards held a private Court at her Palace,. at which the two Barons from Hesse Homberg were presented, and were most graciously received by her MA JESTY, On their mission relative to the marriage of her daughter. The Swedish Minister was also presented, and was most graciously received. PRINCESS ELIZABETLL—The assent to the mar riage of this Princess was formally given yes:er day, in the name of the KING, by the PRINCE REGENT in Council. The Princess went after wards to Carlto❑ House, and signed the mar riage contract, in the presence of the PRINCE REGENT and the Dukes Of KENT and CUMBER• LAND. The nuptials will be solemnized this evening at eight o'clock. Rumour says, that the Princess of HESSE CAS SELL has decliUed the proffered hand of the Duke of CLARENCE, and that an union is on the Lapis between his Royal Highness and a Princess of the House of Saxe-HILDBOURGHAusEN. -.-- (Morning Chronicle.) The Prince of HESSE HOMBERG, on his arrival at Hampton on Sunday, inspected the curiosities of the place, and afterwards dined with Sir BEN? JAMIN BLOOMFIELD, who had invited the Austrian Ambassador, the Russian Ambassador and Lady, the French Ambassador and Lady, and Count MUNSTER, to meet him. His Serene Highness returned to town. in the evening, accompanied by Prince RSTERHAZY. Yesterday his Serene High ness visited the QUEEN and PRINCESSES, the PRINCE REGENT, the Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND, and several persons of distinction. Her MAJESTY had a select party on Sunday evening. Yesterday the Dukes of YORK and• C i LARENCE and Duchess of GLOUCESTER visited the QUEEN and the PRINCESSES . The Princess ELIZABETH and the Dukes of KENT and CUMBERLAND visited the Puircis RE GENT yesterday. Last night the Duchess of YORK arrived in town from Oatlands. The Duke of WELLINGTON was expected at Calais yesterday. A packet had.been ordered for his conveyance from that port to Dover. There i►as been a great increase this year in the woullen manufactures ; in the narrow cloths milled, this increase amounts to 1,582,947 yards, and in broad clothe milled, to 2,422,135 yards. . Sir W. BURROUGHS, M. P. for Colchester, has been invited by the Electors of Taunton. Mr. ATHERLEY has not, it is said, any intention of offering himself as a Candidate to . represent Arundel in the next Session of Parliament. VIICOUNTESS INIELBOURNB. - Thk Lady, who has long been an ornament of the higher circles, we regret to say, died last night at Melbourne House, 'Whitehall. She was one of the most beautiful women of her time, in figure and coun tenance. Her manners were elegant, and her disposition benevolent. A very numerous circle of friends, of the highest rank in society, will feel the loss of an amiable, accomplished, and agree able companion—a loss irreparable to her family and immediate connexions. - - Sir V. Gtnas, it is again said, is about to retire from the Chief Justiceship of the Common Pleas. Sir H. GIFFoRD is spoken of as his probable suc cessor ; in which else it is thought Mr. Ws• THELIALL Will be the new Solicitor-General. LAW APPOINTMENTS IN IRELAND.---Mr. HEN. V. GRAny is appointed First Counsel to the Com missioners of the Revenue, in the room of the late Sir C. ORAIRY. AU. J. L. FOSTER succeeds as Second Counsel. _ BUONAPARTE.-The following is an extract of a letter from St. Helena St. Helena, Just. 26.—Buonaparte's regimen almo st con founds our calculations of the materials of which be is com posed—so opposed does he appeal to be to his former habits of life. He has nut passed the threshold of his house these four months: the consequence is, his legs are swollen, his corpulency fast increases; he Can't help complaining of hav ing a most painful palpitation at the heart, and his coun tenance is extremely pallid. His sullen austere manner shuts out all descriptions of persons: he - refused to see the Admiral (Planipin) a day or two since. GeHeral Montholon (whose wife has lately been delivered of a boy), we are.told, lately hinted to his imperial master, that he had half-a-mind to go -to Europe ; when Buonaparte replied, You - have always proved yourself devoted to me; wait twelve months longer, and then you will return With honour, for I shall by that time be no longer a tronble'to any one? Certain it is, that his health is become in a very precarious state." The Select Committee on the Salt Laws re sumed yesterday their sittings, after an adjourn ment for the holidays. The first clay (March 16), was partly occupied with the examination of Air. GILBERT, 'M. P. for Bodwyn, which applied chiefly to the comparative value of Rock Salt and French Salt for 'the Fisheries. He thought the Rock Salt had not yet been fairly tried ; but un derstood it to be better than the common Salt.. He thought that with the present duties, the pre sent restrictions were necessary ;' but (speaking of what must now be matter of conjecture and opi nion) if the duties were so far reduced as to do away the necessity of restrictions, there can be no doubt of the use of Salt being very greatly in creaitd, -and he would take upon him to say that such regulations and such scales of duties might then be deised as would upon the whole ra titer bencfit titan dc , tcriorate the Revenue.
